B&B Systems was founded by a couple of engineers at the dawn of stereo television. They noticed that if two stereo channels were out of phase when fed through a monophonic speaker, the audio streams would cancel each other out. At its worse, a heart pounding symphony in stereo would produce utter silence in mono. This phase shift is the same audio principal now used intentionally in noise canceling headphones.
To insure that mono televisions would not just show pictures, but play sound, B&B engineers developed a
The Television Revolution
TV is now at the dawn of a change more profound than the introduction of color television in the 1950’s.When video becomes a bit stream, the possibilities are endless, permitting viewing of Digital Television (DTV) on computers, through digital video recorders, on cell phones, and in wide screen high definition that rivals cinema in quality. Television is now a fusion between information technology (IT) and traditional broadcast.
Myriad opportunities present even greater challenges. Expensive pitfalls lurk for the unwary. B&B Systems’ consultative process provides the means you need to simultaneously feed multiple video destinations with different resolutions. Our solutions are workflow driven, to maximize efficiency and quality.
Engineering and Technology
On February 17, 2009 the US will end all analog broadcasting and shift to digital over the air transmission. For most broadcasters the infrastructure is already in place.
Digital television is now market driven, by viewers who watch on $50 cell phones and High Definition (HD) sets that drop in price every selling season. These unforgiving screens easily show the difference in image quality between analog upconversion and DTV. It’s time to deliver what those viewers now expect.
B&B’s engineers have years of upgrade experience. They know which components can be reused, and which have to be replaced. B&B Systems is poised to
